Prof. Hartman-
I just posted on this in reply to Lawler Bb's post in the Lounge and was going to try to hunt up your email address to tell you - an outstanding presentation again this year, and thank you very much for putting it on. Millions of people play golf for their own enjoyment, some of them work pretty hard at it because they enjoy it more when they're better at it, and there are a lot of resources available to help them get better at it. Those of us who play (serious) music purely for our own pleasure have to look a lot harder to find that kind of resource. What you're doing by putting on this program, and making it available to people like me - a middle-aged comeback player with limited connections in the music world - is beyond price.

Thanks!
Dave

Professor Hartman,

I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Cichowicz's master class last year at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. It was a wonderful lecture and he really approached the trumpet and brass playing from a "common sense and musical" point of view. (I love listening to recordings of him and Bud Herseth playing with the CSO. What a great section.)

I also had the opportunity of hearing one of your students, Tim Brutcher, play a computerized piece written by Roger Dannenburg of Carniegie Mellon U. Tim did a great job and is a good friend. Please tell him I said hi.

So, thank you for putting on the trumpet master classes and concerts. It's what I feel is missing in a lot of our high school and even some of our college programs. Incidently, I read somewhere where a university in Oklahoma is putting on free weekly master classes and inviting all the high school trumpet players in their area to participate. That must be some undertaking, but I'm sure it has it's rewards.

Thanks again,

Gene

Mr Hartman

I want to say thank you for the oppurtunity that we had at trumpet day. Your masterclass was also very helpful, and the entire day was an awesome experience. I really loved the duet you and Mr. Burns did on the Piccs.

Trumpet Day was well-worth the money, it's too bad more peolpe didn't take advantage of the oppurtunity to learn from such great teachers.

Chris
